Significant work (4)

I believe the answer is:

opus

(Other definitions for opus that I've seen before include "(Numbered) musical composition" , "Composition - magnum __" , "Creative work, eg in writing, art or music" , "Musical piece" , "Work (mus.)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal.
